超越神经领域的意识：扩展尚未发生的可能性
Consciousness beyond neural fields: expanding the possibilities of what has not yet happened
摘要：
在物理学的场论中，假定的时空连续体的任何特定区域以及其中基本物体之间的所有相互作用都可以客观地测量和/或数学地解释。由于这不适用于任何场理论，或任何其他关于意识的神经理论，它们的解释力是有限的。正如本文详细讨论的那样，事实使问题更加复杂，而不是任何科学上可操作的意识定义都不可避免地是局部的，而且这种现象没有空间维度。根据对冥想和扩展意识、慢性疼痛综合征、健康老龄化和幸福感的研究，我们可以将意识视为一种潜在能量的来源，它没有明确的空间维度，但可以在他人和世界中产生重大变化，可以通过时间的变化来观察。有人认为，意识可能已经进化到使人类物种能够产生这样的变化，以应对前所未有的和/或不可预测的逆境。这种应对最终可能包括有意识地计划我们自己的灭绝，当在地球上生存不再是一个可接受的选择时。
英文摘要：
In the field theories in physics, any particular region of the presumed space-time continuum and all interactions between elementary objects therein can be objectively measured and/or accounted for mathematically. Since this does not apply to any of the field theories, or any other neural theory, of consciousness, their explanatory power is limited. As discussed in detail herein, the matter is complicated further by the facts than any scientifically operational definition of consciousness is inevitably partial, and that the phenomenon has no spatial dimensionality. Under the light of insights from research on meditation and expanded consciousness, chronic pain syndrome, healthy ageing, and eudaimonic well-being, we may conceive consciousness as a source of potential energy that has no clearly defined spatial dimensionality, but can produce significant changes in others and in the world, observable in terms of changes in time. It is argued that consciousness may have evolved to enable the human species to generate such changes in order to cope with unprecedented and/or unpredictable adversity. Such coping could, ultimately, include the conscious planning of our own extinction when survival on the planet is no longer an acceptable option.
